TV Anime Adaptation Announced for “The Easygoing Lord’s Fun Defense of His Territory”

It has been officially announced that the popular light novel The Easygoing Lord’s Fun Defense of His Territory: Turning an Unnamed Village into the Strongest Fortress City with Production Magic will be adapted into a TV anime.

Published by Overlap, the series has surpassed 2 million copies in total circulation (including digital editions) as of April 2025. The story follows Van, the fourth son of a marquis who is reincarnated into another world and given the seemingly useless “production magic.” Cast aside by noble society, he is assigned to rule a remote and impoverished village. However, with the power of his magic, Van begins to transform the humble settlement into a prosperous and fortified city.

To celebrate the anime announcement, special comments from the original creators and a commemorative illustration have been released.

Comment from Akaike Muneta (Original Author):

“Congratulations on the anime adaptation of The Easygoing Lord! Hello, this is Akaike Muneta! I’m incredibly happy that The Easygoing Lord’s Fun Defense of His Territory is being turned into an anime! I owe it all to my amazing editors—H-san, O-san, and T-san—as well as the talented illustrator Ten-sama and the manga artist Aoi Aoyamaro-sama. Most of all, I’m grateful to all of you readers who have supported the series. Thank you so much! With the anime production now in motion, I know it will come together thanks to the hard work of so many dedicated people. I might be the most excited of all—I’ve been losing sleep just thinking about it! I hope everyone enjoys the anime once it’s completed. Please continue to support The Easygoing Lord’s Fun Defense of His Territory!”
